Bannon and Trump made a final critical mistake. They underestimated the fervor and anger of their base.

There was a moment on one of the Warroom shows when Jack Maxey was basically alluding that this was a powder keg headed towards a revolution, and quickly the guest and Bannon put a Kabosh on that type of discussion dismissing it. I don't think Trump or Bannon really knew how far this could go, and it could have gone much much farther all things considered.

The timing of Pence's letter was exactly at the moment they intended it to be. Those who have controlled us for generations know how to control a mob. Just like it takes a few bad seeds to get the mob going for BLM riots, it only takes a few bad seeds to get the MAGA crowd to become more moblike. We are just not on the fucking level of "the powers that be".

Feeling the adrenaline through my damn computer at work got me going yesterday. I can't imagine being on the steps knowing what was happening inside.

This was a masterclass in control, and I think the story played out exactly how the establishment wanted it to. Any objections after the events that took place were for posterity.

Dominion and voter fraud will ensure no outsider that cannot be controlled gets in again. Let's be real, it's going to take more than a fraudulent election to get a real uprising from the people. There needs to be an actual need by threat of the military to push insurgency and rebellion. There needs to be an actual general (Trump is not a general). I love the man, but he wasn't going to lead the charge.

We're all frogs. Get ready to be boiled.

There is going to be a vacuum now. You have half the country boiling mad. There will come along an individual who will manipulate that anger for their own aims. As tempting as this charismatic person will be caution will be needed

Agree for the most part, great post. But I disagree with your last point. I don't think there has to be a violent uprising. Trump has to use his huge grassroots base to gain a foothold inside the institutions, from the ground up and outside of the corrupt GOP structures. It will take some time, but I think it would work.

All that bullshit happened because the GOP stabbed him in the back for four years over and over again. We need a third party. It would be the end of the GOP.
